With a basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and a decent knowledge of AngularJS, one can easily convert a million-dollar idea into an app with a few lines of code. In this book, we will explore how you can do this.
To start building Ionic apps, you need to have a basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and AngularJS. A good knowledge of mobile application development, device native features, and Cordova is preferred.
You will need Node.js, Cordova CLI, and Ionic CLI installed to work with Ionic. If you are planning to add theming support and other third-party libraries, you will need Git and Bower. If you want to work with device features, such as a camera or Bluetooth, you need to have their mobile OS set up on your machine.
This book is intended for those who want to learn how to build hybrid mobile applications using Ionic. It is also ideal for people who want to work with theming Ionic apps, integrating with the REST API, and learning more about device features, such as a camera or Bluetooth, using ngCordova.
